From the Secretary’s Desk

“The test of our progress is not whether we add more to the abundance of those who have much; it

is whether we provide enough for those who have little.”-Franklin D. Roosevelt

We thank all those who have helped us exist, work and contribute to

our society. I would like to thank EFRAH partners, staff and the

governing board members for their unstinted support to EFRAH in all

activities. Their involvement ensures that EFRAH is able to bring about a

positive and lasting change in the lives of the targeted communities.

None of the achievements would have been possible without the

commitment and efforts of EFRAH team, its board and partners with whom we share a collective

dream and contribute towards its

Realization. Through all the interventions support and implementation by EFRAH, lie’s the

underlying belief that you must be the change you want to see in the world.

As we embark on this journey, with new goals and deeper focus, we invite you to join us

towards our ultimate goal of a happy, healthy life for all. I wish everyone in EFRAH the very best

and I firmly believe that through our collective efforts we can provide a better future to all the

underprivileged sections across the country.

On behalf of the Board of EFRAH, I am pleased to present the Annual Report- 2015-16. Regards,

Mr. Sayeed Ahmed Secretary- EFRAH

EFRAH-Empowerment for Rehabilitation Academic & Health

ABOUT EFRAH

EFRAH- Empowerment for Rehabilitation Academic & Health is a Non-Governmental Organization started in 1997 and came in legal existence on 17th March 1999 through getting Registration under Society Registration Act 21 of 1860 and its Registration No is S-34553 in Delhi (India). It is registered under Foreign Contribution Registration Act 6 (1) (a), Registration No. 231660324 as well as registered under Income Tax Act of 80G and 12A. We started with 150 children of vegetable vendors in Okhla vegetable market area, New Delhi with an aim to mitigate child labour and mainstream those children with school

for the sake of availing regular education. Those 150 children were engaged as child labour along with their parents in vegetable market. The core areas of EFRAH intervention are Education, Livelihood Health and Rights.

At present, we are working in Madanpur Khadar J.J. Colony, Ali Vihar, Badarpur, Gautampuri, Jaitpur, Okhla Industrial Area, Sangam Vihar, Tughlakabad Extension, Shaheen Bagh, Batla House, MCD schools of West Zone and Uttar Pradesh (Noida, Auraiyah & Etawah district). EFRAH is functioning through child

cantered community development approach and advocacy is a part of our each program. We adopted “education and rights” as a tool for social change particularly among informal economy as well as unorganized community. At community level, we organize community in their peer groups and

orient/capacitate them for concerned matters along with group management.

OUR PROGRAMMES

i. Livelihood & Skill Development The population growth, industrial development and migration of people from rural to urban areas have

resulted in a rapid growth of the urban sector in the country. Rapid urbanization has created many

socioeconomic problems making life

miserable, particularly for migrants and deprived communities who normally live in

inhuman conditions in the slums or

resettlement and unauthorized colonies. An

urgent need, therefore, exists for specialized

education integrated with awareness and functional improvement for these groups to

improve their lives, decrease their dependency, increase their work efficiency

and sharpen their capabilities for adaptation

to social, economic and technological

changes in the midst of

their lives and work.

The educational and vocational needs of these deprived sections constitute

a specialized area of continuing education demanding its own strategy,

institutional arrangements and techniques.

The vocational trainings are the prime focuses of the EFRAH; it deals with the livelihood of the community members in the area. The highest numbers of beneficiaries of 825 were enrolled in the Fashion Designing and

Pattern cutting, English Speaking & Personality development, Beauty Culture, Computer Basic, Hardware &

Networking, Domestic attendant and child care/ elderly care.

CASE STUDY Ayesh's father is a rickshaw puller. Her mother is a house wife and father’s earning around Rs. 6500 pm. Ayesh's did not get time to study because she did household chores and cared for her siblings. She was so interested to join skill development programme for income generation because the parent’s income was not sufficient for maintain family expenses she was good in Hindi & English. She staying in Ali Vihar area of south east Delhi last more than 15 years, her parents was illiterate and therefore didn't understand how important education is, especially for a girl, to empower her to live a decent life. Ayesha was on the verge of dropping out of school due after competing her 12th due to poor grades and lack of parental support when she was noticed by Efrah: Having seen thousands of lives ruined this way, Efrah social workers knew if Ayesha did not join the vocation training course, she would never be able to extricate herself from the life of poverty she was born into. And as a girl, if she did not stand on her own feet, she was at higher risk than a boy of being exploited and maltreated. Hence, Efrah social workers instantly enrolled Ayesha in the vocational training centre (Tally and Accounting course) run by Efrah. It was her last chance. The Efrah vocational training centre was all that stood between Ayesha and a life of deprivation and danger. Her grades improved immediately. She got job in accounting Ayesha’s parents are proud of her and attend all Efrah s Parents' Workshops/training programmes to learn how they can support her. Their smiles say it all. Today, Ayesha is not only in danger of economic crisis but is among the economically strong family. Ayesha is a hardworking girl. It turns out all she needed was a little extra help in understanding family problems She is doing well in her professional life After participating in the parents meeting and workshops, her parents understand the benefits of vocational education which they did not earlier because they are not literate themselves. Now her parents make sure she has enough free time for everyday jobs.

Rinku (Changed Name) is a resident of “Balia” UP. 10 years ago,

along with her father and younger sister she migrated to the

slums of Gautampuri, Delhi in search of job. Her father was not

well and she was the only source to feed her family. Rinku was left

with no other option rather than stepping into commercial sex

work at the age of 19. Working over TI project, EFRAH traced

Rinku just after 5 months of her into the sex work. During

counselling it was found that Rinku was not using precautions as

she was not much aware about it, also she was paid more for not

using condom. In the beginning of the counselling it was little

difficult to convince her to talk, but after 3-4 months outreach

worker managed about the safe sex practice and even willing to

get herself tested for ICTC. EFRAH managed to encourage Rinku

for purse computer software course. She got enrolled to 6 month

computer software course which is run the organisation. With her

efforts she got selected with Software Company situated at Nehru

Viii. Capacity Building

alliances. People cantered advocacy is possible only if the local level leaders have the capability and knowledge base to advocate for their communities. 38 people from the community formed the core group who actively participate in all the

activities of the project. 12 groups are formed till now. 80 group members are

sensitized on govt. Schemes in training on leadership skills held during the last quarter.

x. Securing Rights This organization is aimed at securing the rights of people by ensuring sustainable livelihood and capacity building on their rights. EFRAH provides advocacy support to people also in case of violence of their

rights and contributes to the enactment of new policy for labour rights by managing coordination with different govt. department and competent authorities.

they are the soft target for the govt. or the self-interested employer. We do advocate their rights.

Xi. Capacity Building on Disaster Risk reduction The world is steadily becoming more urban, although, urbanization rates vary across the world. Many consider urbanization as an irreversible process and thus urban vulnerability becomes a reality. Building

Safer and Resilient Communities in Urban Slums of India is thus a project focused on the communities which are most vulnerable in terms of disaster. The project’s objective is that vulnerable children and mothers have increased coping capacity to shocks induced by natural hazards and everyday risks by Safe

guarding protection, education, health & nutrition and other lifeline services. Working on three major levels, it foresees that Children, mothers and communities demonstrate resilience through increased capacity and risk reduction initiatives with child centred approach, Children and school authorities have

increased capacity to identify and minimise risks through comprehensive school safety planning and lastly Child centred resilience approach is recognised at government line department level. Through

group meetings, we have been able to reach to 4500 directly. The project is been carried on in 5 slums in south east Delhi and 10 schools targeting the slum children.

5. COMMUNITY VOLUNTEER AND INTERNSHIP

EFRAH conducts the Internship Program for the college students. Under the Internship Programme, college students from various universities do a month-long internship during the summer break from college. The students learn how to write a concise email, answer a telephone, or greet their colleagues in a professional manner. While working in an office environment, they also receive the opportunity to observe how others operate and take on those positive attributes, whether it’s communication, behaviour, or office etiquette.
